Question

Write in slope-intercept form 5x-3y=-9

step by step explanation too, please.

Answer 1

y = (5/3)x +3

Explanation:

slope intercept form

Y = mx +b form

so we need to solve the given equation for y

1. 5x-3y =-9

2 . 5x -3y +3y = -9 +3y (adding both sides 3y)

3. 5x = -9 +3y

4. 5x +9 = -9 +9 + 3y (adding 9 to bot sides)

5. 5x +9 = 3y

6. (5/3)x + 9/3 = (3y)/3 ( divide both sides by 3 to get y alone)

so, the final answer will be

y = (5/3)x +3
